in putting out the flames. At times the fire would rush through the ports and almost drive the men from the guns. Don't flinch from that fire, boys, sang out Farragut; there's a hotter fire than that for those who don't do their duty! Give that rascally little tug a shot, and don't let her go off with a whole coat! The Mosher was sunk. While passing the forts the Hartford was struck thirty-two times in hull and rigging, and had 3 men killed and 10 wounded. The Brooklyn, Captain Thomas T. Craven, followed as close after the flag-ship as the blinding smoke from guns and fire-rafts would admit, and the garrison of the fort was again driven to cover by the fire of her heavy battery. She passed on with severe punishment, and was immediately attacked by the most powerful vessel in the Confederate fleet, excepting the Louisiana--the ram Manassas, commanded by Lieutenant Warley, a gallant young officer of the old service. The blow that the Manassas struck the Brooklyn did but li

arried around the poop, about waist-high. Captain Craven stood at the forward edge of the poop withperfect apparent indifference to danger as Admiral Craven. As I write, I hear the sad news of his dno one knew t he cause of the stoppage; and as Craven called out, Stand by the starboard anchor, and the starboard quarter, and a moment after Captain Craven said, in his deep bass voice, u One bell! id not see the ram Manassas. It was evidently Craven's intention when he saw Farragut's trouble to ly noticed by the newspaper correspondents, as Craven had old-fashioned ideas and would allow no repre cut to burn one second. As she approached, Craven gave the vessel a sheer to starboard, and we bor her smoke-stack is abaft her mainmast! Captain Craven, however, repeated the order, Don't fire! aven that Lieutenant O'Kane had been wounded. Craven directed him to put me in charge of the First ago cut in two.

t has since left the service): I am satisfied the Hartford was never rammed at the battle of New Orleans. The nearest approach to her being rammed was when a Confederate craft pushed a fire-raft under her port quarter while she was aground under Fort St. Philip. （8 ) Lieutenant Warley mentions only one vessel rammed by him in this way, and his description certainly answers for what happened in the attack on the Brooklyn. （9) In reference to the Brooklyn there is no possible question. Captain Craven's and Commander Bartlett's testimony is absolutely conclusive. (10) Lieutenant Warley must be mistaken in stating that Captain Mahan informed him that his vessel struck the Hartford. Mahan in his book [pp. 76 and 77] does not mention any ramming of the Hartford by the Manassas. His statements are such that if he had supposed the Manassas rammed the Hartford he could not have omitted it. He says of the Hartford: She took the ground close under St. Philip, the raft lying on her port quar

was captured by a stratagem of the Confederates. A party of armed men, more or less disguised, under Colonel Thomas, went on board as passengers at Baltimore, and were joined by Captain George N. Hollins and others at Point Lookout. As the St. Nicholas was on her way up the Potomac, the Confederates threw off their disguise, and, overpowering the crew and passengers, took possession of the vessel. She subsequently made several prizes, and was burnt at Fredericksburg in 1862. Commander Thomas T. Craven succeeded Commander Ward in the command of the Potomac flotilla. The force was increased by the addition of eight or ten vessels, but it was unable to dislodge the Confederates from their positions, and although the navigation of the river was not actually closed to armed vessels, a virtual blockade of Washington, as the Potomac was concerned, was maintained until March, 1862, when the Confederate forces retired to the line of the Rappahannock River. The guns were then removed fr
